usb mouse support in X

Kaamoss · Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2005 6:09 am Post subject: usb mouse support in X

I just auto generated my x config file and when I tried to test the configuration it faild as it can't see my mouse.
Output is this
(EE) xf860OpenSerial: cannot open device /dev/mouse
No such file or directory.
(EE) Mouse0: cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Mouse0"
No core pointer

If I had to hazzard a guess I'd say it's looking for a serial mouse when it should be trying to find a usb mouse...I compiled the kernel with usb support. Do I need to manually configure the mouse? If so how? Any help you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks a bunch Qdot...that was simple. I uotput dmesg to a text file, search for my mouse, found it in there and changed my xorg.config accordingly and it worked! I serriously appreciate it.
